Data Analysis Expressions An Introduction to DAX
Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) • Functions used to create reusable measures that analyze data • Basic commands such as COUNT, SUM, AVERAGE, etc. • Generally used in Fact tables to aggregate • Can reference other DAX formulas – no need to re-enter data
A Basic Measure using DAX Function Column Used to Calculate Count Responses = COUNT(FactResponses[Response]) Name of the Measure Table used to calculate
Count All Responses = CALCULATE([Count Responses], ALL(DimResponse))
Count Responses = COUNT(FactResponses[Response]) Count All Responses = CALCULATE([Count Responses], ALL(DimResponse)) %Responses = [Count Responses] / [Count All Responses] DAX Measures to count Responses
Count Students = DISTINCTCOUNT(FactResponses[student id]) Count All Students = CALCULATE([Count Students], ALL(DimStudent)) %Students = [Count Students] / [Count All Students] DAX Measures to count students
